Abstract-The concept of reconfigurable manufacturing system has emerged drastically as it reduces the product lead time and meets with the market demand efficiently. The performance of a manufacturing system lies on a set of planning and scheduling data incorporated with the machining capabilities keeping in view the market demands. The proposed work focuses on the formulation of an optimal framework for production over part families. Machine's kinematic configurations are generated considering tool's degree of freedom. The application of non-dominating sorting genetic algorithms over machine configurations makes this approach more reliable. A case study has been presented to illustrate the application of proposed model based on the technological constraints.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
